Row 4 - 5 : moss stitch

Row 6 - 7: lifted increase every 12 stitches (and last increase on 10)
Row 8 - 10 : lifted increase on every 10

Row 11 : purl

Row 12 : k , add stitch markers after 38 and 113,
kfab before and after round marker(rm)
Row 13 : k to sm, lifted increase, place another marker after increase ( * 2 * ) repeat at next sm.
Row 14 : k to end of row, kfab before and after rm
Row 15 : k to sm, lifted increase, lifted increase the stitch before the second sm ( * 4 * ), repeat at next sm
Row 16 : k

Row 18 : k to sm, kfab, k to 1 stitch before sm, kfab, k, kfab before and after rm
Row 19 : k
Row 20 : k to sm, lifted incr, k to 1 stitch before sm, lifted increase, k, kfab before and after rm
Row 21: k
Row 22 : rep. Row 20

Increase pattern until wide enough to accommodate shoulders.

Purl row, 6 rows of moss stitch increasing at rm every second row (utilising the kp look of the made stitches).

Repeat increase pattern from * once,
removing the 4 shoulder sm on the last row(5 rows).
From here on the only increases are at the rm, every two rounds.

At this point the I counted stitches and found I could easily divide up the length into patterns of 6 (if I made a stitch)

3 rows of p1, k5
-remembering to kfab each side of rm every 2nd row and match the pattern as you go (purling purl stitches etc.)
I decided to go for a pattern with holes

p, k2, yo, k2tog, k, p, k2, yo, k2tog, k….repeated to rm
p, k5 repeated
p, yo, k2tog, k, yo, k2tog, repeated.

Having never done lace this turned out asymmetric, but oh well :)

p,k5 for 3 rows,
then into k1:p1 rib for about 3cm 8 rows), remembering to continue increases at rm on alternate rows.

Bind off by knotting two stitches together with 3½“(9cm) lengths of yarn; match or contast, your choice.
I found a crochet hook was useful, or you could use a yarn needle. Tie both tails overhand loop fashion, rather than a granny or reef knot so that the tails both point straight out from the work.
